This paper presents a rough-sets-based method for clustering data composed of both nominal and numerical attributes. Similarity between objects is determined as a weighted sum of their Hamming / Mahalanobis distances. The method then forms equivalence relations among objects based on their relative similarity, and classifies them into some categories according to the relations. Similar equivalence relations will be merged into an equivalence relation so that it represents more simple knowledge which generates adequate number of categories. The optimal clustering result can be obtained by evaluating the cluster validity, defined using upper and lower approximations of a cluster, over all clusters generated with various values of similarity thresholds. Experimental results on the amino acid data show that our method can deal well with both attributes and produces good clustering results.

Thepaper proposes a novel method for content-based search in a database of VRML 3D models. The proposed technique is based on a querying-by-3D-model approach. A set of shape-based descriptors are extracted from the reference 3D model and compared to the corresponding descriptors of the VRML models contained in the database. The descriptors used vary from simple geometric measurements such as the aspect ratio or a binary 3D shape mask to more complex and sophisticated shape-based criteria such as the edge paths of each 3D model. Similarity measures are then introduced for the specific descriptors and introduced into a 3D model-matching algorithm. Experimental results are presented, evaluating the performance of the proposed method.
Over the past decade, several inductive logic programming (ILP) systems have been developed. However, the normal ILP system does not have enough power to induce logic programs in some domains. Therefore, various new I...

We have performed an extensive experimental study of several dynamic algorithms for transitive closure. In particular, we have implemented algorithms given by Italiano, Yellin, Cicerone et al., and two recent randomized algorithms by Henzinger and King. We propose a fine-tuned version of Italiano's algorithms as well as a new variant of them, both of which were always faster than any of the other implementations of the dynamic algorithms. We also considered simple-minded algorithms that were easy to implement and likely to be fast in practice. We tested and compared the above implementations on random inputs, on non-random inputs that are worst-case inputs for the dynamic algorithms, and on an input motivated by a real-world graph.
This work presents the application of Evolutionary Computation techniques to the identification (order selection and parameter estimation) of an AutoRegressive Moving Average model (ARMA). Our method combines the effe...

In this paper, we present a Web-based distributed virtual learning environment (DVLE) that could be used as a sophisticated tool for distance education and collaboration between teachers and students. We design and develop this application and the corresponding graphical user interface (GUI) as a proposal that aims at providing an integrated communication environment which supplies the communicative needs of an educational community, using the latest telecommunication and multimedia information processing technology. The environment that we propose can be used for virtual lectures, virtual conferences, and exchange of useful material and experiences among teachers and students. It is a Web-based application that is being developed as client/server architecture using standard protocols and technologies such as HTTP, HTML, Java and VRML.
